[AusNOG] port 0 probes

Hi Alex,

Not sure where you're seeing this, but if it's in netflow: most routers
typically mark non-initial fragments as port 0.

So if you see udp port 0 ports in netflow it's most likely udp
fragments. Typically you'll see the same increase in 1500 byte packets
(the initial packet).

Cheers,
 Andree
